Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

It was already late at night in the outside world. Other than the bright lights above the ruins, almost everyone in the village at the foot of the mountain was already asleep. After nightfall, the temperature of Cangluan Mountain plummeted. Although the rain had temporarily stopped, a strong wind suddenly rose and swept over with a chill.

The rescue team was completely drenched. When the wind blew, a chill crawled from their heels to their heads. Without exception, everyone had goosebumps and their teeth keep chattering.

Everyone, including Xu Jiajia and Zhou Xiaoxiao, had no intention of stopping, though. Exhaustion and cold kept attacking everyone, as if they wanted to wear down their wills bit by bit.

Among the commanders, Feng Shaoyu, as the commander-in-chief, naturally wanted to personally be on the front line and work hard to save Su Yun. However, he had no choice but to lead the overall situation in front of many display screens and dispatch several search and rescue teams in the air and land range.

The guard who had been following Feng Shaoyu was a young man. He had always been by Feng Shaoyu’s side, so he knew very well how Feng Shaoyu had spent the past few days. He did not sleep or rest for a few days and nights. At the same time, he had to take a lot of medicine to suppress his chronic illness.

Feng Shaoyu’s expression was getting worse and worse, and all the guard could do was keep bringing hot water to Feng Shaoyu. However, it was the same every time. The hot water was cooled before it was poured out. When the hot water was poured again, it became cold again.

Feng Shaoyu had been walking around in front of the screen 24 hours a day, making his voice so hoarse that he could not speak. Originally, they were already in a desperate situation and everyone’s hearts were like dead ashes. However, the joke from the heavens did not seem to have stopped.

When it rains, it pours. When the boat leaks, it hits the head.

Just as Feng Shaoyu was focused on the search and rescue work, a soldier hurriedly ran in with Professor Sun and the others. When he saw Feng Shaoyu’s haggard and hurried figure, the soldier stood at the door and hesitated, as if he could not bear to say those words.

However, Feng Shaoyu unintentionally looked up and saw the soldier standing at the door in a daze. He immediately said anxiously, “What are you standing here for? Hurry up and do what you need to do!”

Feng Shaoyu’s voice was very hoarse. He had to use all his strength to say this.

Under Feng Shaoyu’s gaze, the soldier finally spoke with some difficulty.

“Chief, I just received news that an ancient tomb has been discovered on the Cangxue Mountain a hundred kilometers away. It has already been stolen. According to the investigation and evidence of the experts, it was basically confirmed that this ancient tomb was a Chi You’s Tomb and stored other parts of Chi You’s bones. It was stolen very recently. Just a few days ago, when the mountain collapsed, it was suspected to be done by an overseas faction.”

In an instant, Professor Sun and the others looked up and were stunned on the spot. Feng Shaoyu was also stunned for a few seconds before waving his hand without saying a word. However, not long after the soldier left, Feng Shaoyu staggered and sat on the chair behind him. He looked ahead in a daze, but then he punched the table.

Professor Sun and the others also felt a tightness in their chests. A breath was pressed against their hearts, and they could not recover for a long time. At this moment, their thoughts were almost the same.

Su Yun had done so much to prevent the Mysterious Research Institute from obtaining the Chi You’s Bone. But now, they had let Su Yun down and failed to fulfill his wish. This huge impact made Feng Shaoyu’s vision darken for a long time. The dizziness made him unable to stand up at all.

Professor Cai’s pained voice sounded in his ears. “It’s a conspiracy. This has been a conspiracy from the beginning. The reason why the Mysterious Research Institute sent out a large number of people was to make us feel that their goal was the Tomb of Chi You in Cangluan Mountain. In fact, their true goal was the Cangxue Mountain a hundred kilometers away.

“We previously thought that they had investigated Chi You’s Tomb much earlier than us. They should have more clues than us. Why didn’t we think about it carefully? We should have known that Chi You had buried corpses in several tombs. We only obtained a portion of the corpses. Why didn’t we see through this scheme earlier? This way, will Su Yun not end up in such a state…

Professor Cai’s heart was filled with regret, even though this matter was not something they could control at all. After all, China was so big. Who could stop tomb raiding?

However, Professor Cai and the others blamed themselves. What made them feel pain was that everything Su Yun had done did not change the final outcome. Instead, for them, it was unknown if he was dead or alive.

The Cangxue Mountain that they were talking about was hundreds of kilometers away from Cangluan Mountain. Because the mountains of the two mountains are connected, they both begin with the word Cang.

However, the location of Cangxue Mountain was in the north. There was snow all year round, so it became a famous local scenery. Standing at the foot of the mountain, one could see that the four seasons hid snow. The snow mountains were connected, forming a line between heaven and earth.

The Cangxue Mountain was located in the borders of Bai Province. At this moment, it had been completely sealed off by the local police. The local archeological team quickly went to investigate, but the valuable cultural relics and Chi You’s corpse in the tomb had already disappeared.

This was a huge loss for the local archeological team, especially for the entire Huaxia.

According to the investigation, the time when the ancient tomb was stolen was when mercenaries from a hundred kilometers away launched a full-scale attack on the tomb path of Cangluan Mountain..
